Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 8 ounces Corned beef
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 4 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing
- 4 slices Dill pickle slices (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven broiler to high.
Lightly butter one side of each slice of rye bread and place them, buttered-side down, on a baking sheet.
Pile 2 ounces of corned beef on each slice of bread, spreading it evenly.
Add approximately 1/4 cup of sauerkraut on top of the corned beef, spreading it out but leaving a small border around the edge of the bread.
Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the sauerkraut on each sandwich.
Broil the open-faced sandwiches under the preheated broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and drizzle 1 tablespoon of Thousand Island dressing over each one.
Optionally, garnish with a dill pickle slice for an extra tangy kick before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Open-Faced Reubens!
